Trade and Travel: the Potential of Tradeable Mobility Credits as a Means to Manage and Steer Travel Demand

Arjan works as a PostDoc in the Department of Transport & Planning at TU Delft. He did a PhD on two-sided dynamics in ridesourcing systems, as part of the CriticalMaaS project. His primary research interests lie in agent-based simulation of transportation services.

Nejc works as a travel behaviour researcher at the Delft University of Technology. His research aim is to better understand behavioural patterns and the preferences of travellers with the goal of making travel more sustainable, comfortable and a fun experience, for both day-to-day travel and leisure/tourist travel. In his past research, he looked into the preferences and perception of shared mobility, long-distance and international travel, travel demand management policies, the interaction of public transport and micromobility and many more.

Sascha Hoogendoorn-Lanser is director of the Mobility Innovation Centre Delft (MICD), part of TU Delft. MICD conducts research into new modalities, with a strong focus on behaviour. We can develop great technologies, but how will this be used in practice? With sophisticated measuring methods and analysis techniques, the MICD provides a good picture of traveller behaviour, and the impact of new mobility on sustainability, liveability, safety and equity. The MICD initiates, stimulates, and facilitates research in the field of mobility, data collection and data analysis. This is done in cooperation with scientists from TU Delft and other research institutes, municipalities, sector organisations and companies. Whether it is large-scale European research or a local survey, MICD brings the right partners together, provides advice, sets up a study or analyses results.

Working in different roles at international consultancy firms, universities and research institutes, Daniel has dedicated his career on advancing clean and affordable mobility. His work experience in the Netherlands, Thailand, and Australia has provided him with a solid understanding of global mobility and urban decarbonisation challenges. Next to his mobility experience, he has over four years of experience in climate and carbon finance instruments. In the project on ‘Trade and Travel’ he combines the field of mobility and environmental credits to explore the opportunities for market-based instruments in changing mobility behaviour.
